Can't say as I like what that map is saying for the NYC area . I'll take the NWS guess , only half the amount . Guess tomorrow I'll double check the snowblower and generator , and clean the lumber and bags of mulch off the driveway and into the back of the garage .Nothing like yard projects that get put off until it's too late . Got plenty of food , stocked up on staples and loaded up the freezer section of the fridge intending on holing up for a few weeks , so I'm set.
Got a tip for us?

I have family in Alaska and they have been taunting me with their weather because I LOVE winter. The colder...the snowier...the better! I also have nothing against the fact that they get less than 4 hours of daylight at this time of year. I'd be ok with that!
If you are a cold-weather hater and think it's too cold where you are now, I'll just say I guess it could be worse 😂 Their weather is posted below (and yes...that's Fahrenheit). Comparing those numbers to where I live...they've got us beat by a long shot! For me, the coldest day this week is supposed to be tomorrow with a high of 28 and a low of 18. That's not good enough! I would LOVE to be in Fairbanks right now!

Cool good to hear you are well stocked and ready for the Snow - hope it is just enough to set the mood for a "White Christmas" Might have to watch that movie, again! (Vera Ellen 💕)
It's grey and rainy here with the next few days looking like - rain today , occasional rain tomorrow, rain tapering off tues, more rain wednesday - LOL - it's rainy season!
Might take a hike up into the snow next week end - near by mount fromme - if the rain slows down. Maybe make a new "Alpine" hiking music playlist for the occasion while it's raining - lol ☔️
Went to the store this afternoon and stocked up so that this next week, regardless of what actually happens with our weather (predictions are all over the place in terms of possible rain/snow/ice/etc.....). Now I can stay cozy and warm at home and will have all the supplies and food I need for the duration. Today was a delightful day in terms of temperature, in the low 60's -- wow! I'll take that.....wish we could have that all winter!
We didn't get much snow in NYC last winter, or at least not anything that accumulated - so I'm sort of looking forward to the snow midweek.
By Thursday I'll be back here bitching about it, I'm sure!

I feel you, very much the same in Geneva. At least you can easily go to the Jura or Alps and get sunshine easily. Sun sets about 4:50 PM here though. Still too damn early.
While not as low as some here are experiencing, for Southern Cal, near the beach, we hit 44 last night and this morning it was 46! Brrrrrrrrr
Winter Storm Gail is almost out of here. We got some snow, not sure how much.
Definitely sleeping weather.
Hope everyone else is okay.

Welp, it's Thursday and like I said, I'm right back here to complain about all the snow we got last night! 
Of course the snow was great while it was happening, and it provided the perfect atmosphere for decorating the tree. But by midday today it's already turning into brown slush in the streets and I'm tired of dealing with it all the extra BS associated with it!

Here folks are thanking their lucky stars we dodged a flooding bullet after 33" of snow plus drifts in mid-December followed by... yeah, mid-50s temperatures last week... from a rare southerly wind that brought us 2.5" of rain, melted all the snow in 36 hours, filled every creek to just about flood stage or a little over, and then provided frozen lakes in our backyards or meadows as the temperatures plunged back again to the teens and low 20s.
It's been like watching a trailer for some dystopian horror flick that goes straight to DVD and where all the worst scenes are stuck into the trailer to make it seem more scary.
Well at least I didn't have to pump out my cellar and have to drag the hose inside after every go else it would set up at night.. been there done that a few other times when we've had these winter flood-freeze scenarios. I'm outta practice though: the last really bummer one of those we had was sometime around 1996. Lost two maple trees that year, they could not take the joke of a flood-freeze loop that lasted two weeks.
Today's a nice day even though snowing a little: the gas delivery guy just topped off the fuel tanks! This is the time of year I really love, as the light comes back after that long grey run-up to the winter solstice.

The polar vortex is splitting, so lookout for extreme winter weather the second half of January.
Yeah it's been in the range of 15º to 30ºF here for a couple weeks, which is why we keep getting "sneaky snow" piling up at the rate of a few inches a day at least. However, I noticed the forecast pegs it to below zero in the overnights by next weekend. That's typical for mid winter here, but it will feel really cold at first: we've been spoiled by the moderate temps so far. Gotta leave a base cabinet door on the north wall of the kitchen so the water feed doesn't set up if it gets into double digits below zero. The joys of February approach...
It's supposed to be -2° C. in Sacramento at 0600 hours PST on January 26, 2021. 🥶 And then a major storm with heavy wind and rain coming tomorrow night. 😱😒🙄
Hah... suddenly I feel like I haven't missed a thing since last winter, at least w/ your weather (and mine).
I did read somewhere that it briefly snowed in Malibu the other day. That kinda got my attention.
It’s been super cold today. Wind chill is -2 F. We have a big snowstorm coming on top of that.
My car's thermometer was 9F this morning in Boston... way too cold.
Thank god for heated steering wheels.
